It's always a laugh to find those sorts of surprises.

I had the radio and everything out of our old MK4 Golf once, and found a $5 note, and a whole heap of cards from a previous owner. Some included security clearance cards to a couple of Navy bases.

wow, NAVY cards are pretty impressive!
I have a swap card for something, but not sure what.
was so much rubbish in the car when I got it, owner clearly didnt intend of parting with it when he left it at the mechanics

[dylan8]

not much of an update.

Picked up a second VR head with only 80,000km or so, R32 sump and oil pickup and engine covers from Bens part out

Had a mate getting his cleaned up too, so went through the process together.
Hot tanked
skimmed
new exhaust valve guides
valves sand blasted
valves cut
seats cut to match


1 of the 2 VR heads after seats cut.
Mines next

Tell me about it.
Mum is actually giving me money to get the thing finished cos she is sick of the vr body sitting in the carport

[dylan8]

It's got a real nice brown fleck to it.

While I already had some green stuff pads for the 280mm, and was thinking of going 312mm. Waterboy talked me into keeping the small brakes.

Came across some 288 brakes and calipers, with green stuff pads, braided lines, and slotted rotors for sale at Nationals. Had to have them, so just need to find some carriers and im in business. from memory they give more clearance to wheels so thats an added bonus

Samco or Forge hose kits?
Forge is a fair bit cheaper, but have heard some bad feedback about them

Cooling system delete for ultimate shaved bay. Engine temps are over rated.

Samco my dads forge literally came with holes in it.

0/10 would not recommend.

Re: Dylan8's Vento

When I had the vr6 I found a setb on ebay that were pretty cheap, read some good reviews about the brand. Can't remember what they were though as this was years ago, so guess this is of no help to you
